Bombay Calling preceded Lucky

Grand Jury Prize – Best Documentary, 2006 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles

East Coast Premiere – 2nd US Showing!

As CEO of a rapidly expanding telemarketing company, Kas Lalani is eager to cash in on the swell of telemarketing opportunities ushered into India by globalization. Lalani taps into Bombay’s (Mumbai’s) highly educated, English-speaking youth base and pinpoints the most ambitious and enthusiastic among them to man telephone lines connecting them to the US, UK, and Canada. This generation reared on MTV and fast food culture is more than eager to don westernized accents and work late night shifts in their pursuit of the American dream…Indian style. The highly entertaining and topical BOMBAY CALLING brings a human element to the ongoing outsourcing debate and introduces the world to a new generation driving the Indian economy and navigating the ever-narrowing divide between East and West.
